Like a lot of things it's a quick improvement from super cheap to reasonable. After that you are paying for smaller and smaller improvements for a lot more money. As an engineer (not sound engineer mind you) I have always said the first 95% of perfection comes relatively cheap. That last 5% is really expensive. Yet some people are willing to pay a lot for that last 5%.
Right when COVID hit, the AVRs were a great price but I was apprehensive spending money at that time 🤔

The $900 price you mention can buy an X3800H on sale from Adorama which for starters offers 9.4 and even better room correction (Audyssey XT32). Those two items alone are significant upgrades, but at almost 3x the price. The two extra channels will absolutely be worth it to some people, but it wasn't worth it to me. If I were spending $900, I would buy the X3800H.
X2800H with 7.2 (EDIT: can't tell if Audyssey XT or XT32...) has gone as low as $500 at Adorama, but it's on backorder now so no sale prices on that unit until at least February 2024.

Saved a few bucks with my procrastinating, so all good. Was almost ready to buy Onkyo 6050, but my preference is Denon.
Only piece of electronics that has died on me over the years was an Onkyo Stereo Receiver. Had that in the back of my mind
